Hard times have room

Chapter 1069 Bicycles

This year Pauline had a very relaxed life. She only needed to prepare the food for her family to eat every day. For those who were visiting relatives, she could be regarded as a mascot at most, with her parents supporting her.

Compared with her, Wen Xun, who is soft and cute, has been warmly welcomed by the three aunts and six grandmothers. Every time he goes to visit relatives, he goes back empty and full, most of which are peanuts and melon seeds. Part of it was a candy bar, which made him happy.

There are 360 ​​five days a year, and only the ten-day holiday during the Spring Festival is the most leisurely, but the current social atmosphere has changed, and this change has begun since last year.

Wen Hui's school closed classes in April. At that time, universities all over the country basically closed classes. Even if the school reopens now, the students in it are not the ones who fought hard to pass the exam. Those who were admitted to the university all depended on the recommendation. Some people have not even graduated from primary school, and they were recommended to enter the university for various reasons. They did not study the content of the past, but the quotations. The current university has already Completely changed.

Not long after the Chinese New Year, in mid-January, Paulin read a lot of letters and proposals from readers about the Spring Festival holiday from the newspaper in the reading room. Among the ten newspapers, seven have related content.

At the end of the month, the above directly issued a notice that there would be no holiday during the Spring Festival.

Of course, this matter has no impact on Pauline so far, and at most she has seen a few words of emotion and less vacation.

Although I have less vacation now, I won't work overtime when I work!She has eight hours of regular shifts every day, and Pauline adapts very well.

The May [-]st Labor Day holiday, Baolin and Wenhui left work at [-] o'clock, they brought the things they had packed up, and rode their bicycles non-stop to rush home. Of course, the main force of cycling was Wenhui, and Baolin only relative After changing rides on a flat section for a while, both of them were rookies, stumbling along the way, but they finally returned home safely.

The bicycle was bought by Pauline in April, and the ticket was issued by the factory. Pauline did not expect this ticket to fall into her hands. After all, she has only been in the factory for a few years. , her qualifications are really new.

But she was surprised, but she still had to take it. A bicycle was the thing she wanted to buy the most at the moment. The factory finally issued a ticket. Of course, the ticket was used and the money was exchanged for a bicycle. In recent years, she has also saved For a lot of money, buying a bicycle is naturally not a big problem.

One hundred and eighty Phoenix bicycles, although most of the time they spend in her dormitory after buying them, but just looking at the bicycles is enough to make people happy.

She usually lives and eats in the factory, so it's only a short distance away, and she doesn't need a bicycle, but when she has time, she likes to ride out for a walk, and sometimes she brings Wen Hui.

Because of their contact for more than a year, the relationship between the two of them is much closer than before.

This ride home was the first time they rode a long distance on a bike. The skills of the two were average, and they were limited to riding. Therefore, when encountering those particularly steep and rugged sections, the two were Don't dare to be reckless, either get off the car and push it, if you ride alone, after all, there are two people in the car and one person is different.

It took them almost two hours to get home. Of course, this was only the result of copying the trail, otherwise, they would have come back even later.

At the entrance of the village, Wen Hui got out of the car and left directly, instead of going to Bao Lin's house to sit, for fear that he would be dragged to dinner by the warm second uncle and second aunt.

When Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang saw Paulin coming back on a bicycle, they were very happy.

"Paulin, have you bought a car yet?" Su Hongying fondly touched the metal body of the bicycle, this is a bicycle!She also has a car.

In the whole Shanghe Village, before their family, only two families had bicycles, and theirs was the third family. It's a lot of fun to talk about it!
Not to mention riding out, unfortunately, she can't ride a bike, but she can learn.

Old people are not old, and Su Hongying is very curious about bicycles.

Bicycles can be bought not only if you have money, but you also need a ticket. You can’t buy a ticket in the black market. Once you have one, you can buy it for at least 50 yuan. You can imagine how rare this bike is. up.

"Hmm, the factory sent me a ticket, and I paid for it directly." Pauline patted the bicycle parked beside her and said with a smile.

"What brand? How much did it cost?"

She knew that the price of bicycles was always not cheap. Even if the tickets were issued by the factory and didn't cost money, Pauline definitely spent a lot of money when she went to the department store to buy a bicycle.

"Phoenix card, one hundred and eighty, how is it? It's alright!"

"Hmm, it looks good to me."

Paulin's salary is not low. Although she saves ten yuan each month, the rest is enough for her to save a considerable amount of money, and it is more than enough to buy this bicycle.

I had no dreams all night, the next morning, after breakfast, Paulin took Wen Xun with a basket to dig for wild vegetables, but saw that the wasteland behind her house had been opened up, and there were still a lot of piles. Wood mud bricks, is this to build a house?

At noon, when her parents came home from work, Pauline asked, "Mom and Dad, the land not far behind our house has been levelled and piled up with a lot of things. Who is that house? what?"

"It was the first three educated youths who came to our village. They used to live in the warehouse of the brigade. Even though there were more educated youths in our village and there were educated youths' offices, they still lived there, but I don't know how they did it. Thinking about it, I suddenly want to build a house in the village this year and settle down completely."

"I guess they don't have any hope of returning to the city. In the past few years, I have only seen educated youths who have come to the countryside. This time, there are really no ones coming back to the city. The three of them want to go back, it's hard!"

Su Hongying often chats with the women in the village, and she still knows a little about the three educated youths.

Of course, the idea she knew was from other people's mouths, and it was unclear whether it was true or not.

She had a good impression of the three educated youths who came first, and they were able to endure hardships. Although at the beginning, they were not very effective at work, but later they were fine.

"Indeed, there are more and more educated youths going to the countryside now. Several come every year. In our small village, there are eleven educated youths."

"There are so many people who come, but almost none of them go back. They should have given up, or they would not have decided to build a house in Shanghe Village." Wang Jianguo also sighed with emotion.
